Value of transvaginal sonography in diagnosing heterotopic pregnancy after in‐vitro fertilization with embryo transfer

Abstract: Objectives To assess the value of transvaginal sonography (TVS) in the diagnosis of heterotopic pregnancy (HP) in the first trimester after in-vitro fertilization with embryo transfer (IVF-ET). Methods

“…Notably, the precision of diagnosis of these diagnostic methods is affected by certain factors such as operator skill [17][18][19], lesion site [20], and lesion type [7,14], such that the women with sessile or focal lesions (such as endometrial polyp and submucousal fibroids) are recommended to undergo hysteroscopic biopsies rather than other procedures [7,13].…”

“…Although TVS has recently become an efficient device to detect cases with intrauterine abnormalities, this method is a screening technique and plays a fundamental role in presurgical diagnosis. In contrast, hysteroscopy is simultaneously a diagnostic and therapeutic technique but requires local and relatively invasive anesthesia [6][7][8][9]. Examining for and diagnosing uterine abnormalities can affect the result of assisted reproductive technology (ART) and is considered one of the important therapeutic procedures before treatment of infertility [10].…”

“…Thus, the early diagnosis of ectopic gestation is the key of treatment. Currently, ultrasonic examination as an invasive examination has become the main means for the diagnosis of ectopic gestation, among which, transvaginal sonography and transvaginal sonography featured by simple operation, high repeatability, and high accuracy can provide patients with effective and important information about treatment and prognosis 15,16…”

“…Currently, ectopic gestation is mainly diagnosed by transvaginal sonography and transabdominal sonography; the two kinds of examination have their own features; most patients with ectopic gestation can be diagnosed before rupture, but misdiagnosis or missed diagnosis is still possible 6. Transabdominal sonography, a traditional examination method for ectopic gestation, is featured by wide scanned area.…”
